  • Location Lee, MA
  • Category Agriculture / Culinary
  • Job type Part-Time
Company description Hilltown Hot Pies is an artisan sourdough pizza brand based in the Berkshires of Western Massachusetts + The Hudson Valley. We run pop-up experiences, cater events, and seek to bring people together through delicious sourdough (naturally leavened) pizza. Our pizzas are rooted in the landscape around us - highlighting the regional foodshed is at the core of our pies. Our motto is wild yeasted pizzas in wild places, and we have brought our Neapolitan-inspired pies to the beaches of Northern California to the backwoods of New England. We believe deeply in spreading happiness and joy through good pizza, and creating community through shared nurturing food experiences. With our rolling mobile wood-fired pizza trailer, we bring our pizza making to farms, fields, forests, trailheads, parks and beautiful venues all over the region. Pizza is a platform for shared joy, and at Hilltown Hot Pies, we believe the simple pizza can be a medium for profound connection and community building. Job description Want to work in beautiful outdoor settings, crafting Neapolitan-inspired wood-fired sourdough pizzas just feet away from where our ingredients are grown? We're looking for pizza makers, chefs, and pizza passionate people to help staff up our growing mobile pizza team. We're launching a brand new mobile pizza oven trailer this summer season, and will be bringing our pizza making to farms and venues throughout the Hudson Valley (Columbia County) and the Berkshires (Berkshire County, MA). We are looking for pizza passionate people to work the following positions:

Pizza stretching line:
- Stretching our sourdough pizzas + crafting Neapolitan pies ready for the wood-fired oven
- Helping with set up and break down pre and post-service
-  Prepping and refilling pizza toppings as needed
- Assisting with daily setup, clean up and dishwashing

Oven work (fornaio):
- Managing the loading and baking of pizzas
- Managing wood fire oven and keeping it stoked, clean and operational
- Slicing and finishing pizzas for service

- Helping out with ingredient restocking and  set up and clean up as needed

The nature of this mobile pizza operation is that we move around and roam throughout the region! We are a pizzeria on wheels, and what makes us special is our ability to create beautiful pizza experiences in stunning settings. Our normal public opening days are thurs-sun, but we also close regularly for private events. We're looking for pizza makers who are excited to work at our farm pop-ups in Columbia County, NY, but also might be willing to travel to the Berkshires to work some events as well. It's a mobile job, and we're flexible to make this work for you! 

Starting salary is $15/hr + tips. We have a lot of fun making pizzas together, and the beauty of what we do is that we're almost always in a gorgeous setting, crafting pizzas "in the wild" with ingredients grown just beyond where we set up our oven trailer. We always enjoy a pizza family meal together, and you'll always get a pizza meal before or after each service window. Discounts also provided for friends and family. 

Even if you only are looking for a day or two of work per week, we'd love to talk. This would be a seasonal position through the end of October (exact start/end dates flexible).

Due to the nature of our mobile pizza making, this job will require you to be outside, in the elements, and sometimes our pizza making takes us to non-level terrain (like rocky driveways, gravel roads, dirt paths, etc). Moving and lifting kitchen gear, ingredients, wood, dough trays will be required. 

Willing to train the right applicant, even with no pizza experience!
